The Story of the Charm Bracelet
Dawn has lived a “charmed” life and to commemorate it, Pam Santry gifted all attendees a charm bracelet with special charms representing each of the conventions. Attendees proudly wear their bracelet to the convention eager to add a new charm each year.
The charm bracelet serves as a wonderful reminder of all the fun and friendship we have had traveling around sharing our passion for Dawn collecting.
Thanks Pam, for this wonderful tradition!
